The couple's children, Gráinne, Fionnuala, Fiachra and Emmett, also chose the WB Yeats poem The Lake Isle of Innisfree to remember their father.

They added the personal message: “We love and miss you daddy, with our whole heart and souls.”

The former deputy first minister’s grandchildren and sons and daughters-in-law also remembered him with the poem A Life Well Lived is a Precious Gift in the 'In Memoriam' section of the Derry News newspaper.
